The man who New Hampshire police say fatally shot a police chief and wounded four other officers in Greenland Thursday night as they were executing a warrant was found dead inside his house early Friday by a robot, a woman by his side.

She has been identified as 26-year old Brittany Tibbets, according to her uncle, Larry Tibbets of Berwick, Maine. Both had been killed by gunshot wounds.

"That robot was able to detect two deceased individuals inside the residence. One of the individuals was a male by the name of Cullen Mutrie. He is 29 years old. He is a resident at that location, and we believe he is the man who shot and killed Police Chief (Michael) Maloney and was involved in injuring four other officers," said New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney.

Delaney said both Mutrie and the woman were suffering gunshot wounds when they were found in the home at 517 Post Road about 2 a.m. Officials believe their deaths were either part of a double suicide or a murder-suicide. Delaney said Mutrie had a previous criminal record, but it was unclear whether he was licensed to own firearms.

Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney, 48, was killed in the shootout with Mutrie as the officers executed a search warrant during part of an ongoing drug investigation.

Maloney was a 26-year police veteran and had served 12 years as Greenland's chief.

He was less than two weeks away from retirement.

The other officers who were injured were identified as Detective Gregory Turner, 32, a six-year veteran of the Dover Police Department.

He was treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder and released. Detective Eric Kulberg, 31, a seven-year veteran of the University of New Hampshire Police Department was also treated for a gunshot wound to the arm and released.

Detective Scott Kukesh, 33, a 10-year veteran of the Newmarket Police Department, suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, and Detective Jeremiah Murphy, 34, the fourth officer injured, is a seven-year veteran of the Rochester police department. Both men were upgraded to stable condition by Friday afternoon.

Delaney said all the officers were part of the Attorney General's Drug Task Force and they were attempting to gain entry to Mutrie's house about 6:30 Thursday when shots were fired.

Tactical officers who arrived shortly after tried to establish contact with Mutrie and had a brief conversation with him, but communications broke down and eventually officials decided to send the robot in about 2 a.m.

"This has been a tragedy in the state of New Hampshire this evening and our thoughts and prayers go out to Police Chief Maloney and all the friends and loved ones of the officers that have been injured," said Delaney.

Maloney's friends said they had a surprise party planned for his retirement.

"Eight days. He couldn't wait. He was going to take a month off, and he had another job," Billy Adams said.

Jason MacKenzie, owns a tackle shop in town, said family was important to the chief, so were friends.

"He always had a smile, always joking. He was great way with people," Jason MacKenzie said. "It's very tragic that this could happen in our town."

There were only six officers in the Greenland police department. The small town just west of Portsmouth only has 3,500 residents.

"We're a small town in New Hampshire. This isn't supposed to happen here," said John Penacho, the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen.

"This is a terrible tragedy. I offer my deepest sympathies to the family of the officer who was killed. I ask everyone in New Hampshire to continue to pray for the recovery of the other officers involved and their families," New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch said.

Delaney said investigators will search the crime scene and perform autopsies Friday morning. He said the New Hampshire law enforcement community is grieving.

"They have come together, federal, state and local agencies, to do the job that law enforcement officers do every day, to secure the safety and protection of our citizens, and I'm proud of the work that they have done during the past day," Delaney said.

Massachusetts law enforcement agencies were urged to lower their flags to half-staff in memory of Maloney.

"It is a grim reminder to us all of the danger police officers face every day. Sadly, these shootings come as the number of police officers killed across the country has spiked in recent years," Chief Joseph J. Rebello, president of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, said.
